Some commonly used compound semiconductor materials in radiation detectors include:

Cadmium telluride (CdTe): CdTe detectors are widely used in medical imaging devices, such as computed tomography (CT) scanners. They also find applications in nuclear power plants for radiation monitoring.

Cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe or CZT): CZT detectors have high energy resolution and are used in radiation spectroscopy applications such as gamma-ray spectrometry. They are also used in security screening systems, nuclear medicine imaging, and planetary exploration.

Mercuric iodide (HgI2): HgI2 detectors are known for their high stopping power and are used in X-ray and gamma-ray imaging applications. They are commonly used in mammography and industrial inspection systems.

Gallium arsenide (GaAs): GaAs detectors are used in high-energy physics experiments and particle accelerators due to their high radiation hardness and fast response time. They are also used in satellite and space missions for radiation monitoring.

Silicon carbide (SiC): SiC detectors have excellent radiation hardness and can withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for harsh environments such as nuclear reactors and space applications.

Compound semiconductor radiation detectors operate based on the principles of energy deposition and charge collection. When ionizing radiation interacts with the detector material, it generates electron-hole pairs, which are then collected and measured to determine the radiation intensity and energy.

These detectors offer advantages such as high sensitivity, high energy resolution, fast response time, and good radiation hardness compared to traditional detectors made of materials like silicon. They play a crucial role in radiation monitoring, measurement, and imaging across various industries and scientific fields.
